Review: JITNEY at The Old Vic
By Stuart King Monday, June 20 2022, 10:39
A run-down, cheaply veneered wood-panelled office, sticks of dilapidated waiting room furniture, a gas heater and a wall mounted payphone which (when it rings), is answered “Car service” by the disparate group of constantly revolving drivers. We’re in a Pittsburgh Jitney - one of those cheap-not-legit taxi services used by the poorer spectrum of society and run by those needing to earn a few extra bucks.

Review: THAT IS NOT WHO I AM (RAPTURE) at The Royal Court
By Stuart King Sunday, June 19 2022, 00:01
A considerable amount of cloak and dagger hype has surrounded Dave Davidson’s first produced play now shocking audiences at the Royal Court — as befits a playwright who (as the blurb suggested), has worked in the security industry for nearly four decades!
“When Ollie has his identity stolen on the internet, it’s bad enough. But soon it’s not just his online life collapsing – his real life is being stolen too. Who is the person really doing and saying these awful things? And who can Ollie trust to see the real him when the world sees him as a monster? Did the real him ever exist in the first place?”

Review: THE RITE OF SPRING at Sadler’s Wells
By Stuart King Wednesday, June 8 2022, 10:17
Pina Bausch’s ground-breaking 1975 choreography for Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring has remained intact but here, embodied by a new generation of dancers assembled from various African countries, it has taken on an ecological urgency all its own.
